"We accept the love we think we deserve."- Perks of Being a Wallflower
So many people across the world have read that quote or heard that quote and had a moment of revelation.
Personally, I think it's the most powerful eight word sentence I've ever heard in my life.
I accept only the love that I think I deserve... it's really something to think about, huh?
It's hard to put into picture though, because sometimes I know I deserve more. My friends tell me all the time, that I deserve more than someone who is going to stand me up multiple times. I deserve more than someone who points out my flaws, who can't accept me for who I am and will always try to change who I am, even if I love who I am.
But what if someones love isn't good enough for you, but it's all they can give to you?
You know you deserve better than the love they give you, but that's all the love they can give, and they try really hard.
Normally I would tell someone to drop them, but now that it's happened to me, I don't know what to do, I can't leave this person behind right now because we're stuck together, but the love they give me only hurts me.
I know the love I deserve, but I have to put up with the love that I don't deserve.
